More winter weather on its way to Evansville

EVANSVILLE - The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory that covers much of Southwestern Indiana, including Vanderburgh County and the surrounding area, as well as much of Southern Illinois in anticipation that another weather system that will move through today and tonight will bring a wintry mix to the region.

According to the current weather service forecast, there is a chance of sleet or rain in Evansville this morning followed by periods of rain or snow before turning over to all rain after 4 p.m., if the temperature climbs above the freezing mark.

The predicted high temperature for today is 36 degrees with cloudy skies, according to the weather service.

The precipitation then is expected to turn back to a mix of snow and freezing tonight and the mercury is expected to drop to around the 30-degree mark. The weather service is predicting Evansville could see a tenth of an inch of ice and less than an additional half-inch of snow due to the latest weather system, but warns that the weather could make roads slick.
